A WARMING
The battery generates hydrogen gas which can be highly explo-
sive. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks near the battery,
especially while charging.
If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the
area is well-ventilated. Never run the engine in an enclosed a
area. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas
that can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
Turn power ON/OFF at the charger, not at the battery termi-
nals.
CAUTION
• Quick-charging should only be done in an emergency; slow
charging is preferred.
• Be sure to charge the battery with the correct current and for
the time indicated.
• Charging with excessive current and/or too fast may cause bat-
tery failure.
After installing the battery, coat the terminals with clean
grease.
